Instrument Cluster.
 
Ok so one of my instrument cluster lights seemed to be loose. So i went ahead and removed the cluster to see what was up. Also everyonce in a while my temp gauge would freak out and bounce all over the place. So i figured it was the batteries in the cluster


after taking out the cluster, looking at it i discovered teh bulb was jsut loose, and the batteries are not leaking at all. So...not sure why the temp gauge is tweaking, but atleast i fixed the cluster light bulb.

Either way removal is quiet simple in my 1991. Ill take pics, but its night time, so they may not be that great.

anywho..thought i would share.


Ill post pics later.

Hurray for having nothing to do on a saturday night.

ok after further inspection i realized that the bulb is also burned out. Not sure if i just did that or not..but the filiment is definately burnt out.

So ill pick up a new one tomarow and finish the DIY after i replaced the bulb.

you have an airbag right? did you take off the steering wheel?

Numark318i 06-12-2006 10:10 PM

no steering wheel didnt have to be removed.


update.

i got the bulbs. replaced them. put it all back to gether..and realize that my Brake lining indicator bulb was out also...so i took it back apart and in the process borke the corner of the plastic shroud covering my instruments.

Now i gotta go to a BMW yard and find an E30 and get the replacement part.

DIY will be put together after i do that.

GODAMIT either way...cause i fixed one thing and broke another.
